I connected with Jordan from Claco through Twitter and she asked me to get involved with the beta version to test it out and see what I thought. For most of you who probably haven’t heard about it yet, Claco is a file-sharing and networking site for teachers. Think of it as Facebook meets Google Docs meets Twitter, almost.
You set up a basic profile and “subscribe” to other users. So far I had a little trouble connecting with other teachers around my grade level, but that will all change once the site is launched.
Then you create “binders” were you can upload and share your resources. You can share files or websites. Other teachers who like your upload can copy the file over into one of their binders with a single click. This is my reading binder with a couple tester freebies that I uploaded. {Side note: please make sure you’re following copyrights and terms of use before uploading files that aren’t your own!}
When you first log in, you can see all of your binders down the left and a newsfeed of activity and uploads on the right.
I can see a lot of potential with it and it’s super easy to use. I’d recommend starting an account and playing around with it. I think it will only get better as more teachers upload their files!

Sounds neat and very handy! Thanks for sharing about it!
